Chien-Chi is on his next to last day of his two-week hotel quarantine in Taiwan, and as you can see he's going a bit stir crazy. He is not even allowed to set foot in the hallway—there are video cameras trained on the door—and all his food (and wine) is delivered. He was very excited when a friend delivered the goldfish he wanted to film.
I did not realize he was going to put them—and himself—in the bath tub. When he gets out of the hotel tomorrow he will still be in quarantine, but at his parents' house. "My phone is still being tracked, but I can move
around except public places," he says. "I still have to answer a text message from
the government COVID-prevention center every day for another week!" Finally, he will be allowed to show up at the awards show where he will give a presentation and collect his grant. And apparently, not a moment too soon!
He is totally vaccinated and has been masked in and en route from Austria. He has to pay for the hotel room where he is required to stay. And no one in Taiwan is fussing about their "freedoms." Just saying.
